The 2016 Southern California Australian Football league will kick-off this weekend in Los Angeles. This year's league will feature two teams split from the LA Dragons team the Dragons Black (South Bay Outlaws) and Dragons Blue (Beachside Sharks), two teams split from the OC Bombers (OC White and OC Black) as well as Riverside and San Diego.
Footy in southern California will be heating up but has been simmering away for weeks. San Diego has had three rounds of co-ed footy in February. And the men's National team the USA Revolution held their first camp of the year in L.A a few weeks ago with a number of local prospects attending hoping to win a spot and others providing an opposition squad of Aussie All-comers at the camp. Beyond this the obligatory pre-season sessions have all teams primed for a big start.
